In writer-director Rebecca Hall’s (Christine, The Town, Vicky Cristina Barcelona) evocative, provocative adaptation of Nella Larsen’s richly textured, multi-layered 1929 novel, Passing, two women, one-time high-school friends, now in their thirties, inadvertently cross paths in the tea room of an...

The haunted house/supernatural sub-genre often turns on grief and its discontents, transforming and externalizing its varied, contradictory effects into literal and literally terrifying manifestations of psychological ruptures or breaks from objective reality.

Let me begin with a slight word of defense on behalf of Stephen Frears' Lay the Favorite: The movie isn't as scorn-worthy and unpleasant as most reviews will likely make it sound. It's a perfectly harmless, casually watchable, movie-of-the-week type...
